    Second Distinction Revolutionary Preaching in Public Places: Dvitiya Vaisistya

    Uploaded by

    Xavi Gaviola
    The document discusses how a religious leader is breaking with traditions in revolutionary ways to spread their message, such as living in luxurious homes rather than mountain caves, visiting meat-eating governors, allowing non-Hindus in temples, sending devotees overseas, preaching in cities rather than secluded places, and opening a hostel in London to spread religious teachings. While these actions seem contradictory to traditional rules, the document says reconciling them is not trivial and requires comprehending their deeper significance.

    Second Distinction

    Revolutionary Preaching in Public Places

    sannyasa kariya thake parvata-gahvare


    tumi prabhu! rakha tare harmyera marmare

    sannyasa kariya - taking vows of renunciation; thake - staying; parvata - of


    mountains; gahvare - in caves; tumi - you; prabhu - master; rakha - keep; tare -
    them; harmyera - of mansions; marmare - in marble.

    A sannyasi traditionally renounces everything of the world and goes off to live in
    mountain caves. But you, O Master, keep your sannyasis in luxurious marble
    mansions.

    visayira darsane haya visera bhaksana


    tumi prabhu! “lata”-“vilate” dao darasana

    visayira - of sense gratifiers; darsane - by seeing; haya - it is; visera - of poison;


    bhaksana - drinking; tumi - you; prabhu - O master; lata-vilate - to British
    governors of Indian provinces; dao - you give; darasana - view of yourself.

    A renunciant is traditionally forbidden to look upon a sense enjoyer, for that is like
    drinking poison; but you, O Master, deliberately visit British governors of Indian
    provinces just to give them your darsana.

    hindura mandire mana mleccha-yavane


    sabha-pati ka’re tare vasao sadane

    hindura - of the Hindus; mandire - in the temple; mana - forbidden; mleccha-


    yavane - meat-eaters and Muslims; sabha-pati - chairman; ka’re - making; tare -
    them; vasao - you seat; sadane - in the assembly.

    The mlecchas, or meat-eaters, and ydvanas, or Muslims, are traditionally forbidden


    to enter Hindu temples, yet you honor them as chairmen of the board and seat them
    prominently in the assembly of devotees.
    samudrera pare yaoya nisedha hindure
    tumi kintu pathao bhakta tara-o o-pare

    samudrera pare - beyond the ocean; yaoya - causing to travel; nisedha - forbidden;
    hindure - for the Hindus; tumi - you; kintu - but; pathao - you send; bhakta -
    devotees; tara-o - of it [the ocean]; o-pare - beyond.

    Hindus are traditionally forbidden to travel across the ocean; but boldly you send
    your devotees overseas, to preach there on your behalf.

    kalira sahara “mana” guru-upadesa


    tumi kintu thaka setha asesa-visesa

    kalira - of Kali-yuga; Sahara - city; mana - forbidden; guru-upadesa - teachings


    of the acaryas; tumi - you; kintu - but; thaka - you stay; setha - there; asesa-visesa -
    perpetually.

    In the horrible cities corrupted by Kali-yuga, the instructions of bona-fide spiritual


    preceptors are considered taboo by the populace, but you intentionally spend all
    your time there.

    nirjane cahila bhakta gopha karibare


    svikara nahila taha tomara vicare

    nirjane - in seclusion; cahila - desired; bhakta - the devotees; gopha - hide;


    karibare - to do; svikara - acceptance; nahila - have not; taha - that; tomara - your;
    vicare - in judgement.

    Some devotees want to hide in a secluded place to quietly perform confidential


    bhajana, but in your view such selfish behavior is totally unacceptable.

    ye-khanete loka-sangha besi parimane


    tomara pracara-karya dekhita’ se-khane
    ye-khanete - at which place; loka-sangha - assembly of people; besi - very much;
    parimane - in measurement; tomara - your; pracara-karya - activities of preaching;
    dekhita’ - is visible; se-khane - at that place.

    Wherever there are the densest populations, your preaching activities are most
    visibly present.

    landanete “chatravasa” karibare cao


    paripati yate haya se katha bujhao

    landanete - in London; chatravasa - youth hostel; karibare - to make; cao - you


    want; paripati - orderly arrangement; yate - by which; haya - is; se katha - that
    topic; bujhao - you make known.

    In London you want to make a youth hostel for travelers. You explain that it must
    be organized in a first-class manner.

    mleccha-dese “chatravasa” hari-katha-tare


    e saba marmera katha ke bujhite pare

    mleccha-dese - in the land of meat-eaters; chatravasa - youth hostel; hari-katha-


    tare - for the purpose of discussions on Lord Hari; e - this; saba - all; marmera - of
    the meaning; katha - topic; ke - who; bujhite - to understand; pare - is able.

    In the land of meat-eating barbarians, a student hostel for preaching hari-katha! Who
    can possibly comprehend the significance of these things?

    e saba viruddha artha samadhana kara


    khela nahe hetudera "na” kada “cha” kada

    e - this; saba - all; viruddha - contradictory; artha - meaning; samadhana - solution;


    kara - to do; khela - act of trifling; nahe - not; hetudera - of a charlatan; na kada
    cha kada - petty and careless handling.

    The reconciliation of all these apparently contradictory policies is not for the
    entertainment of foolish speculators.
